A plane mirror is moving with velocity (−2^i+3^j+^k)m/s, which lies in x−z plane. Find the velocity of image of a point object which is moving with velocity (^i+2^j−5^k)m/s (assume that object is located on front side of the mirror).

Solution
The correct option is A(^i+4^j−5^k)m/s Vm=−2^i+3^j+^k Position of plane mirror =(^i+^z)√2v0=^i+2^j−5^k normal of plane mirror =^ȷ
The velocity of image remains same as object in the directions which are not parallel to normal of the mirror. so velocity of object =^i+x^j−5^k In the direction of normal to the mirror VOM=−VIMV0−VM=−(VI−VM)
